Ken Holland told the Windsor Star’s Dave Waddell that this is the strongest Wing team since ‘97, but that next summer could bring some difficult times.
“We’ve kind of got a one-year window here because of the contracts we signed players to and where their careers went,” Holland said.
“That allowed us to bring in Marian Hossa. That’s not going to be the case a year from now.
“We have Hossa, Zetterberg, Samuelsson, Franzen they’re all UFAs. Hudler is an RFA, so we’re going to have to make some decisions over the next 12 months.
“This is probably the deepest team we’ve ever had, but we know a year from now we’re going to start losing players.”
Understand. Got it. But Tick Tock? Your brilliance has spoiled us. So we, you know, have one message for you.
Sign ‘em all. Every last one of ‘em. Bring back Hank (guaranteed). Bring back Franzen (anyone doubt that?). And, yeah, go ahead and start planning for a long-term Hossa contract.
How? Not real sure. But we trust you big boy.
Now make it happen.
Except for William Tell. You gotta jettison him? We’re cool with it. If necessary.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
